front suspension
front suspension
On the highway going around 75 mph and up the front end kinda floats. What can I change to fix this feeling? New struts? I have a -se suspension on my 80. Thanks
At 75 mph, you've got two factors working against you, so you need two solutions....even if you have an -SE suspension, it's what?...almost 20 years old now? You need high pressure struts and springs to control front end rise and rebound. The other thing is that, at 75 mph, AIR is building up under that front end instead of going around it, so the IMSA air dam is also on the money. At 75 mph....
I have replaced every bushing, ball joint, etc. in my front suspension which has helped the feel and stability immensely. As mentioned, after 20 years or so things get soft or fall apart in the front suspension.
The only thing left for me is to get the steering box tighted up and align everything properly.

I'm in the same boat with the ES bushings...the back is already done and it did a nice job stiffening up the rear w/o having to go to a bigger bar. It'll be interesting to see how the front-end responds...
